GUM, Ambrose Kenny-Smith - Telescope

Verse 1:
Step, rattle, step, rattle
The embers of flesh, five a million
I’m like a jack-in-a-box, a frog in a sock, yelling koo-wee from my mountaintop
Shut up, wait a minute, what’s with this bohemian inconvenience?
Sticking out his chest like a pufflefish peacock, missing a few ingredients

Pre-Chorus:
What’s in the middle of your atom bomb?
Are you more Pluto or Uranium?
Or is he just a nuclear person?
Polterium motive, I’m still searching

Verse 2:
His mother cried, long have mercy, called him crazy
Yeah, but we still wonder, will he die up on this hill, like a chicken in a coop?

Chorus:
Got you in my telescope, baby
Telescope, telescope, no ifs and buts for babies
Telescope, telescope, got you in my telescope, baby
Telescope, telescope, what’s the use in acting shady?
Telescope, telescope

Bridge:
Street spirits floating, grooving in the night, ambulance sirens
The city’s buildings bounce a beam of burning light, star signs in the lining
Marble in the way, you once were in your glory days
Shadowboxing, bodies dropping, stove top cooking up at directions
You went from a businessman to a lift and what the hell happened?
Had it all in the fall, bowed in till you couldn’t crawl

Chorus (Refrain):
I got you in my telescope, telescope, telescope
Say that one more time
I got you in my telescope, telescope, telescope
Say that one more time
I got you in my telescope, telescope, telescope
Say that one more time
I got you in my telescope, telescope, telescope
Say that one more time

Outro:
Telescope, telescope
Telescope
Telescope, telescope
